I think it’s going to be closer than what the odds suggest.

What’s the vibe like at the ground?

    I can see the day coming soon when players will carry pagers to get them off the ground.

    Hore is a pretty handy mature aged intercept marking defender , will give us good coverage for the likes of Lever who is still 5 weeks away.

    I know that's his reputation, but it didn't stand out to me that much in his JLT performances to me.

    This will cost the teams with selfish players. Teams with team orientated players will benefit. 

    Commentators on Thursday and Friday were noting that players on the ground were ignoring the bench to stay on the ground. I'm not sure if this was 100% accurate but if so it's not great from those individuals. 

    I wouldn’t call it selfish, if a player is involved with the play on the ground he isn’t going to pull out and run off the ground. 

    It’s just a reminder of what our game was like before Sheedy bought in his rotations in the early 90’s

    All players must go hard when it is their turn. 

    The Coach will now be very careful who he pulls to the bench late in every quarter, because there is a very high chance that they won’t get back on again

    Remember when players took a 10 minute “rest” in the forward pocket...?


    It’s a beautiful day at the G!

    Beer’s good. Perving excellent 

    And .... surprise surprise... the footy record is still $5.  .... including a free bag of nuts!!

    LG!’

    for when players don't follow coaches instructions.  The coach could have a big red button in the coaches box they could hit - would make great TV!

    Roy and HG talked about it during the 2000 Olympics

    When horses were walking sideways during the dressage events, it was all to do with how much voltage and current was being pumped into their nervous system!!

    I reckon that old Barassi would have loved an electric shock button.  Might have saved his blood pressure and a few phone head pieces.

    Think we might struggle to hit 40,000?

    Last time we played 'em at the 'G we got just over 27k there.  Hopefully we can do a little better this time around.  It is Port after all though, that's always going to keep the numbers down a little.

    In Bali for this one, surrounded by bogans with Bintang in hand at 10.30am, so really no different from when I’m in the MCC.

    Cmon Demons!

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
